Top 10 Best Cities for Borrowers
Some cities are better than others for borrowers. The best cities have the lowest percentage of foreclosures and delinquencies, including a low percentage of bank-owned homes. In most of the cities on this best list, home prices are actually rising. This kind of solid housing market motivates banks to offer lower rates and better terms. Here are the 10 cities that Forbes ranks as the best for borrowers: 1. Kansas City, Mo. 2. Houston 3. Dallas 4. Virginia Beach, Va. 5. San Antonio, Texas 6. Boston 7. Pittsburgh 8. Denver 9. Seattle 10. Portland, Ore. Source: Forbes, Francesca Levy (03/22/2010) http://www.realtor.org/rmodaily.nsf/pages/News2010032606?OpenDocument Monday, January 11 2010
